Apple has today released iOS 6.0.1 for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The update, which includes a number of improvements and bug fixes, can either be downloaded over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update, or by connecting to a Mac or PC running the latest version of iTunes and checking for updates.
UK judges have told Apple to alter a notice on its website regarding a lawsuit with Samsung. Apple was ordered to post the notice to acknowledge a UK courtroom’s ruling that Samsung hadn’t infringed upon the iPad with its Galaxy tablets, but according to BBC News Apple has now been told the notice isn’t compliant.
If you’ve pre-ordered Apple’s new fourth-generation iPad, you’ll get with it a new 12-watt power adapter. It’s an upgrade over the 10-watt adapters Apple’s been shipping with iPads for some time, and it pumps more power into your device while it’s charging – resulting in around 30-45 minutes off the usual charge times.
The iPad mini will go on sale in just two days, which means the world’s biggest technology websites are beginning to publish their reviews. Like the iPhone 5, the new iPod touch, and just about anything else Apple creates, the iPad mini has gleaned heaps of praise. Yet again, it seems Apple’s onto something special with its latest gadget. Here’s what the reviewers had to say:
Unveiled at September’s iPhone 5 media event, iTunes 11 was originally given a launch date of October. But with only one more day remaining in the month, Apple has today announced that its release has now been pushed back until November.
EE, the parent company of mobile carriers Orange and T-Mobile, has today launched the UK’s first superfast 4G network. As a result, owners of the iPhone 5 and the soon to be released iPad fourth-generation, should be able to access data speeds of between 8 to 12Mbps on their devices – 5x faster than existing 3G networks.
Ahead of its launch alongside the iPad mini on Friday, the first benchmarks for what is believed to be a fourth-generation iPad have surfaced on Geekbench. The results, which were highlighted by Primate Lab’s John Poole, back Apple’s claims that the device’s A6X processor is twice as fast as its predecessor.
Apple today announced major changes to its executive management that it says will encourage more collaboration between its hardware, software and services teams. The changes will see Jony Ive, Bob Mansfield, Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi taking on more responsibilities, while both Scott Forstall and John Browett are leaving the company.
Amazon has a new advert for the Kindle Fire HD up on Amazon.com, and it takes aim at Apple’s new iPad mini. As you might expect, it’s the tablet’s price tag that Amazon has chosen to bash, but it’s also quick to point out that the iPad mini has a “low-resolution display,” and “no HD movies or TV.”
